Big Pecker

I'm kinda fascinated with the sound, diet and action of this big peckered Limpkin bird. His diet is clams and Apple snails. It's fun to watch it poking around in the water and coming up with dinner. After finding the shell fish he takes it to the bank and easily opens it.

Wouldn't you think I'd have something better to do than follow birds around?





He has a clam ready to be opened and consumed


The banks are littered with these empty Apple snails the Limpkin has consumed, some of these measure over 3 inches.


Two headed Moorhens?
